He Weifang’s post was accompanied with the following image, a large white character for “difficulty”, or nan (难), on a black background.

He Weifang’s post with the image reads:

For more than 20 years we’ve shouted for a system for declaring the assets of officials (官员的财产申报制度), but the conditions [we are told] are still not right, the environment not right. But [changes to the criminal code] allowing for such things as residential surveillance, the extended detention of designated suspects without notification of their families, and the expansion of the search powers of the government, all these can thunder right up to the top of the agenda, and pass without the least obstacle. With the contrast of these two we have reason to ask: can this country of ours really be called a people’s republic?
